This would only work if paired vote buddies are in the same state. Nevertheless, I like the idea.

Thanks and glad you do. You are right it works best for people in the same state, but it could still be used for people in different states. However, they need to have good relations so, ultimately, if someone is going to Buddy with someone elsewhere, they can fax or e-mail copies of each other's mail in ballots prior to casting them.

During November of last year, a few US cities enacted ranked choice voting for their municipal elections. This is part of what seems to be a growing trend in the US and many countries outside the United States use this method already.

Ranked choice voting is the best way to go, but until it is and for municipalities that still use the 'winner-take-all' method, Vote Buddy is a way people can utilize if they do not want to vote for the 'lesser of two evils'.
